This is quite beautiful; the striations themselves are wonderfully fascinating -- they bring to mind the rough waves of a sea, giving the image a melancholy, watery feeling; and yet, were the image turned on its side, they would be instead a thinning wood, lending a sense of shrouded earthliness.In either format, the result is the same though (and personally I do prefer anything that gives my mind to water): it's rather like a visual representation of trying to recapture a lost thought, a faded memory; folding over itself non-linear, never quite allowing clarity of mind, and for ever holding itself just beyond one's reach.
